mpd and sonata setup problems

To get sonata working I have followed the instructions in the archlinux wiki [1] and went with the mentioned alternative setup.  I have mpd running in the background, but when I open sonata I get nothing.

When I launch Sonata from the terminal I get the following output:
  Error grabbing key 173, 0x?????? (some address)

Thanks for any help.

Re: mpd and sonata setup problems

Looks like a port problem, but can be wrong.  First check that nothing goes wrong when you start mpd.
Also check if Sonata connects to localhost over the correct port and that you have something like: bind_to_address "any" in your mpd configuration.
If you start mpd as local user then ~/.mpdconf is used, else /etc/mpd.conf is used.
